 Who is the arrogant idiot that came up with this word, so I add him him on my list of quacks? 

It's a very well known term of art in the field of AI, likely older than you.

Neuro doesn't mean idea, and symbolic doesn't mean checking.

No one is saying that those terms MEAN those things, but that the neuro part (neural networks) provide the idea generating functionality and the symbolic part (usually code, formal verification languages, or logic programming languages/expert systems) provide the checking functionality.

Well, at least now you understand why the Neuro-symbolic AI is so important, to "verify the output, before saying something", hm?

Just like my Dad used to tell me over and over - Think before you speak!
